I wonder what happened with MSA?

Covid?
Related to the gondola incident earlier this year, which still isn't resolved? https://snowbrains.com/20-injured-canada-gondola/
Related to the Brooke incident delay last year?

2021 is very much an asterisk year.

i was wondering about that as well. It may be multiple factors at play. I'm sure we'll get more info at some point. I'm also a bit surprised because last year it seemed to work well to have snowshoe immediately following MSA, so the teams were already in north america.

Need to get Bromont back on board for those back to back weekends of MSA, Bromont and then the USA.

How cool would MSA, Bromont, Snowshoe, Western US and then Whistler be....

Round 6: 18-19 September - Snowshoe, USA

in the middle of a civil war?

in the middle of a civil war?

if we're talking geographically, the only middle snowshoe is in is the middle of nowhere

 

[Jeremy R]

There is nothing civil about West Virginia.

the wilderness is nice.

Me getting chased by a bear through the village was not very nice.

I am sure it was hilarious.

Did you at least make a gif?

One of my favorite non riding memories of Snowshoe is talking a walk around the village at night and the number of deer just hanging around. There was some local feeding them by hand. So I just stood quietly about 10 feet away and they were just coming up to this guy like a serving line...

I used to live next to Shenandoah National park, there was no hunting there and the deer and bear acted they lived in a petting zoo.

Paging @jackalope and @SuboptimusPrime to the drunk party phone

Oh hell yes. Without question we will be there. I have a score to settle with Mad Dog Boris for not publishing any of the outstandingly drunk pictures of our crew last time--and we shared illegally acquired Chinese cigarettes with him. Seems we will need to redouble our efforts at uber-fan-dom.

there definitely needs to be more monkey coordination this time. also, paging @zdubyadubya

How many years has MSA been either a stop on the World Cup or the World Champs venue, stretches back at least to 1997 but it gets hard to find information beyond then. That's a link to the past disappearing, Fort William will be the only other long-standing venue.

 

[Gary]

Pretty sure MSA had been a UCI WC venue every year since 1990 - this year would have been it's 30th aniversary

Ft W has only been a WC venue since 2002 (but also every year since)

Yea thirty years sounds right. Something must be afoot at the circle k if msa doesn't have a world cup.

 

[Redwood Mulch Chucker]

Canadian border closed for the past 6 months, they're probably just awaiting for the fat cheeto to get booted.

Or build a permanent wall if that doesn't happen...

And we'll probably pay for it.

 

[sethimus]

third world countries always pay for it

Hurr durr, there is a Snowshoe social distancing joke just waiting to happen, do I have to spell this stuff out for you?

For sure... 100% in. My first exposure to your clan was.... an experience. I'm inclined to do it again. This time I have a better idea how best to prepare. ;-)

 

[norbar]

Oh look. Another calendar of me giving loans to plane companies.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

We've got our spot locked in. Showing up Friday and leaving Monday assuming we survive. The hope that this will live up to the last time may just keep me going for the next 11 months...

 

[jstuhlman]

looking at the geodesic dome house with the indoor hot tub at the beginning of north westridge rd. just sayin. @SuboptimusPrime what'd you guys get?

Summit. Between pits and race course. Seems it may have some view of things from the balcony but honestly not sure. Just wanted to be closer to the course and the pits.
